Requalification Deadline – Extended!
After extensive discussions with ANJRPC, the State of New Jersey has issued revised carry training requirements addressing nearly all gun owner objections and concerns.
The newly revised requirements eliminated any demonstration of tactical maneuvers, eliminated a demonstration of shooting proficiency at 25 yards, significantly extended the compliance date for current permit holders to requalify, and eliminated inappropriate content from the use of force instructional materials.
Click HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE to see the newly updated training requirements, which were negotiated by Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs attorney Dan Schmutter, with input from attorney [and AmmoLand News author] Evan Nappen.
Specifically, New Jersey eliminated any testing requirements for kneeling, one-handed shooting, timed fire, and retention drills.
Additionally, New Jersey has completely eliminated any demonstration of shooting proficiency at 25 yards, instead requiring shooting from 3, 5, 7, 10, and 15 yards. Also, New Jersey has extended the deadline for current permit holders to requalify from October 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023. New Jersey also eliminated from the “use of force” instructional materials content unrelated to the right to carry, including provisions related to citizen’s arrest and the use of handcuffs.
This development represents another extremely significant moment for New Jersey gun owners. The State of New Jersey has, for the second time this summer, explicitly taken steps to limit the harsh unintended consequences of erroneous rules for gun owners. It is a testimony to the newly found influence gun owners have attained in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision in Bruen, and ANJRPC is pleased to have been able to deliver this result.

As the grabbers like to say “A good first step!”
Gun rights are NON-negotiable. Period.
Let me guess, retired law enforcement officials are EXEMPT from the need to prove their proficiency to these standards to enjoy their right to bear arms.
You know, shall not be infringed . . .
unless the government feels you do not meet THEIR standards.
I have to say, after shooting the test myself, it was not that difficult. If you can’t shoot that well you probably can’t defend yourself very well either. The level of competence an individual is comfortable with is of course quite different than asking “should it be required by law”. The answer there is NO.
Guessing many of NJ LEOs couldn’t pass those requirements…..
